Assume (iii). Fix , a coordinate , and an event . Choose the bounded predictable risky strategyand choose the numéraire holding to make the strategy self-financing with . Its terminal discounted value isCondition (iii) yieldsfor every . The defining property of conditional expectation impliesEvery coordinate is therefore a -martingale, so (iii) (i). This proves the martingale characterization by bounded self-financing strategies.
